Both of them are overpriced. For the money, you'd go way better "building" one off Cybertron's website.

It subtracts and add's depending on what you'd like. Keeping the FX 6300 and adding a GTX 980 6 GB from there only costs about $1500. Or if you'd prefer, you can bring the price down to like $300-$400 and run all the games you listed on Medium and maybe high on some (except BeamNG).
Does Cybertronpc offer financing on their computers? The reason I'm asking is because I can't really afford to purchase the computer @ in 1 payment.

Which computer is better for gaming (City Car Driving, ETS2, Spintires, OMSI 2, BeamNG Drive etc), general use, etc, especially for City Car Driving gameplay & G27 Steering wheel hookup?:
Dell Area 51 Alienware www.dell.com/us/p/alienware-area51-r2/pd?ref=PD_OC
or
HP ENVY Phoenix 860st store.hp.com/us/en/pdp/desktops/hp-envy-phoenix-860st-desktop-n3g98av-aba-1?jumpid=Desktops_Finder_PDP

I'm currently computer shopping & I'm looking for a really good computer for my games, such as City Car Driving, ETS2 7 so on & for general use. This is for my Christmas present, albeit a late Christmas present & I'm also looking to purchase a G27 steering wheel as well. Does anyone have any more suggestions for me? If so, please leave a reply & I'll be more than happy to look @ it & possibly even reply to you. Thanks, everyone.

They're both WAY more than enough to run all of these games on HD.

The HP, however, is much better:

- lower price
- Core is 6th generation, while Alienware is 4th.

Alienware is a big ripoff compared to other brands, but it's still good enough though.

Thanks, Spoutnik for your thoughts. I'm kinda leaning more towards the HP due to the price & the fact that the Alienware is more blatant in your face gaming & has alien design. The Alienware logo kinda/kind of turns me off from me wanting to buy it. However, as far as I'm aware, HP doesn't offer any financing on their website which is really sad if that's true. :(

So far, I would love to thank everyone that came here to share their thoughts on this topic so far. I really hope more people come to share their thoughts & especially their suggestions on what Computer I should purchase. If anyone (else) has anymore (new) suggestions &/or ideas for new computers please, please, please post them here in this topic. :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

You could gradually buy the parts for the custom PC.

It would run the games he listed on high settings. Mine runs all of them on high settings, processor is actually lower high-end and the video card is great too, that is a 4GB GDDR5 video card. My computer is also a nice option. The only thing that I will be upgrading on my computer is the video card, with a GTX 980 and power supply.
Here is a list of pretty popular games that my PC (Similar to the one I posted) runs on High with above 35 fps.
The Sims 4
BeamNG (2 cars, sometimes 3 depending on map)
SimCity 2013 (With Mods)
MineCraft (With mods)
Minecraft Story Mode
Rigs of Rods (As many modded cars as I'd like, probably because of 16 GB Ram)
911 First Responders (With mods)
Cities: Skylines (With mods)
City Car Driving (With anti-aliasing off)
Next Car Game (24 cars any map)
Train Simulator 2015


I'm not sure if they offer financing but i'll ask them.

Now like David02 said, it probably won't run about 15% of games on medium, but this one should be guaranteed to run all games

Building a PC is much more convenient.

1. It can be upgraded easier.
2. It is cheaper.
Contact me in a PM if you have any concerns about users or the forum.

I have a GTX 960 with 2GB of VRAM, but it can still play Fallout 4 on high with no lag.
But since GamerLionfish is only looking to play driving games (e.g. ETS2), there really isn't any need for such powerful GPUs.

Even with any PC (apart from Mac), you can replace almost any part if the need arises.
I have a friend who has a Lenovo Y50 with a GTX 860 but still plays ETS2 on ultra with no lag.

At the end of the day, it's up to you whether you want to build a PC or not, but I haven't met anyone IRL with one where I live, and by buying one you're covered with the warranty, etc while there is nothing to guarantee a custom built PC.

Spoutnik, you do not have a 960. You have a 960M.

The desktop version runs better by about twenty fps.

Actually it depends on a variety of factors, such as CPU and RAM. So with a specific set it will run almost the same.
